Loose Lips
The dude across the aisle from me on the train is the kind of guy Apple would never hire.
He’s using an iPad, and the dude sitting across from him started asking about it. Within 30 seconds, I knew he works for Palm, that he’s in social media marketing (i.e. webdouche), that his employers are having him evaluate the iPad for work, and that Palm is working on a tablet of their own.
On the one hand, duh, of course they’re working on a tablet. I haven’t seen official word, but I’d have assumed they were. On the other hand, if this guy is to be believed, Palm (or, I guess, HP) is just now working on a tablet and evaluating the iPad. Seriously? Is this why it took three YEARS for any other mobile handset maker to produce a device that effectively competes with the iPhone?
These fuckers are so hopelessly behind, it’s more than a little sad. And, for that reason, I think it’s in everyone’s best interests for this guy to learn to keep his trap shut.
